Ron, Different people learn best via different mechanisms. You have the luxury of having learned through lots of hands-on experience. For those of us who have never touched a SB outside of a piano, theory is helpful, along with analogies; that's what I found interesting. In particular, I thought the article contributed a lot of acoustic theory, born out by measurement, that directly applies to the sound transmission mechanisms through the bridge that the list was trying to wrestle to the ground last year (such as how can there be motion in a node). And I thought it was interesting (but maybe not useful) that inharmonicity is caused by higher frequencies propagating faster through the string (and to see the oscilloscope trace). --Cy Shuster-- Rochester, MN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Nossaman" <RNossaman@cox.net> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 3:18 PM Subject: Re: soundboardinstal again > > >You should really try to get a copy of the August PTG Journal.
